Why Your Furnace Could Be Leaking
Discovering water around your furnace is a homeowner’s worst fear. Is it an HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) issue or plumbing malfunction? It’s hard to confirm without an expert doing an inspection, but Stevenson Service Experts is here with a few HVAC issues that could result in a leaky furnace.
Condensation
A standard-efficiency heating system should not give off condensation so if yours does, it might be that the flue pipe was not sized right. The warm exhaust could be cooling and condensing within the pipe, then streaming back into the furnace and leaking out.
Clogged Drain
Usually condensation from a high-efficiency furnace flows out to a floor drain. If there is an obstruction in the piping or the floor drain, it could cause a leak around your heating system. A seasonal tune-up from a furnace repair technician should help avoid this problem from occurring. Unfortunately, lack of furnace maintenance could result in a clogged drain, resulting in floor, ceiling, or other damage to your home.
Humidifier
This malfunction should be caught with routine furnace tune-ups, but if your heating equipment is leaking water, the humidifier could be leaking inside the heating equipment. Water leaking into your heating system can cause major damage to the internal elements so it’s ideal to call your furnace service company right away if you think this could be your issue.
To make sure your heating equipment doesn’t spring a leak and that it’s ready to keep you warm all winter long, call Stevenson Service Experts in Columbus today. Our fall promotion is going on until November 25th and you can save on a furnace tune-up or qualifying HVAC systems.
